As I took my two pooches for a long perambulate, I found myself wondering how to give them commands in French. F’rinsitance, if I say “Sit! Stay! Down!” it’s the same sound whether I’m talking to one dog or two. But if I were to do the same in French, then the imperatives would be different – Asseyez-vous or Assieds-toi. Venez vs viens. Restez, restes….do the dogs hear and understand the difference? Or are all dog commands given using the “vous” form? Curious minds want to know.

French canine commands aside, we had a lovely walk, and spotted a gorgeous swan, reflected in the still waters, and a group of ducks.
